How to Make Halloween Chocolate Covered Pretzel Sticks
My mom and I make these chocolate-covered pretzel rods every year for holidays and special occasions. These are the Halloween-themed ones we make and they are mummie-themed and general Halloween-themed with sprinkles. They take around 30 mins and are nice to bring to parties, family events, or to give as a gift. I hope you have as much fun making these as I do and have a happy (early) Halloween!
Supplies
List of Materials:
- Pretzel Rods
- White Chocolate Melting Wafer (see chocolate above)
- Orange or Dark Chocolate Melting Wafer (see chocolate above)
- Edible Googly Eyes
- Your Favorite Halloween Sprinkles
- 2 Microwavable Bowls
- Spoon
- Parchment or Wax Paper
Laying Wax Paper/Parchment Paper
- Lay out a piece of parchment/wax paper that can hold the amount of pretzel sticks you will make
- Recommended 12 pretzel rods for each theme
Pouring Wafers
- Pour the whole bag of white chocolate melting wafers into the microwavable bowl
- Pour the whole bag of dark chocolate melting wafers into a separate microwavable bowl
Microwave Wafers
- Melt wafers according to instructions on the back of the package or in 30-second increments.
- Wait until the wafers are fully melted chocolate before taking them out of the microwave.
Melted Wafers
- Once the wafers are fully melted, stir with the spoon until the melted wafers are smooth
Remove Pretzel Rods
- Remove pretzel rods from the packaging individually, one at a time to decorate
Pour Chocolate on Preztels
- Hold the end of an individual pretzel rod, leaving 3/4 of the space to be covered in chocolate
- Dip the pretzel rod into the bowl of chocolate
- While dipping the pretzel rod in the bowl spin it around and use a spoon to pour chocolate onto it at the same time
- Make sure 3/4 of the pretzel rod is covered before you stop pouring chocolate
- Lightly shake all of the extra chocolate
- Once pretzel sticks are covered 3/4 place them on parchment/wax paper
Decorating Mummies
- Allow pretzel rods to cool for approximately one minute before proceeding
- Add edible googly eyes about one inch down from the top of the chocolate
- Once cooled for a minute, using a spoon drizzle the remaining white chocolate horizontally across all pretzels to represent bandages
- Allow to completely cool before serving
Decorating Halloween Themed
- Wait for rods to cool for thirty seconds to a minute
- Decorate by sprinkling sprinkles onto each of the rods
- Once cooled completely serve
